thanks.oh yer a better audience catching introduction is needed, with a bit of humour too.
Does Money Buy Happiness?
It may be true that money does not buy happiness, since there are very many wealthy people who aren't happy, but look a little deeper. What if money COULD buy happiness but some of the rich people just were not making that particular purchase.
Money does not buy happiness, but it can help create opportunity to be happier, and poverty doesn't have a lot of benefits that I am aware of.
Money can take away some stress, which will make you a little bit happier, but true happiness comes from your heart, not your wallet.
"My feeling is that while money does not buy happiness directly, it DOES buy opportunities that can give you happiness if you spend it wisely. So winning big Wednesday won't guarantee happiness, but it WILL get me a nice house and car and furthermore take some stress off my shoulders and allow me to spend free time meeting friends, or just doing things that truly make me happy.
Money was always meant to be a form of trade in order to get what was needed. Sometimes getting a need filled will bring happiness, but it never really lasts. Once a need is filled, there's always another need popping up. Then, there's want, which is different than need. We can't live without food, but we can live without ice cream. We can want the most expensive , but we don't need it to live. It's the act of buying that can make us feel happy, but it's never completely fulfilling. If it was, then there would be a lot of companies closing up shop because everyone had all they needed or wanted. The thing with money is, it eventually runs out. If we were only happy because of the money, then we'd be very disappointed when it ran out. It's best to put your trust in things that always remain constant, and never run out, like family and friends.
So overall, does money really buy happiness? Too much money can buy greed, and too little money can buy lust. But the right amount can buy potential happiness.
